[Support non-ubuntu linux distributions by specify location of versions-manifest.json ](https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/716#issue-1848676120)

[Create-action]

Description: I'm using GHES with runners under CentOS / Rocky Linux. But setup-python is supported on recent Ubuntu versions only, and it fails on other linux distributions, yet. So, I propose to support other linux distributions by simple changes.

Justification:

• Recent actions/tool-cache library supports to determine platform version for non-ubuntu linux distros ( Get linux version from os-release file if available toolkit#594 )

• setup-python actions has hard coded location of versions-manifest.json. If location of versions-manifest.json can be provided users, actions can be used for various linux platform. I propose 3 inputs options for this.

  • versions-manifest-repo-owner : Github owner of versions-manifest.json
  • versions-manifest-repo-name : Github repository of versions-manifest.json
  • versions-manifest-repo-branch : Github branch of versions-manifest.json If these values are not set, default value should be same with current behavior.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

I'll try it :D
